Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION
The present application is the U.S. national phase of PCT Application No. PCT/CN2015/093369 filed on Oct. 30, 2015, which claims a priority of the Chinese patent application No. 201410602634.4 filed on Oct. 31, 2014, each of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present disclosure relates to the field of display technology, in particular to an optical compensation film and a method for manufacturing the same, a polarizer, a liquid crystal display panel and a display device.
BACKGROUND
Currently, thin film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) is mainly used in a display product. An advanced super dimension switch (ADS) technique has been widely used in various display products due to its advantages such as high resolution, high light transmittance, low power consumption, wide viewing angle, high aperture ratio, low chromatic aberration, and being free of push Mura. Its core features may be described as forming a multi-dimensional electric field by means of electrical fields generated at edges of slit electrodes within an identical plane and an electrical field generated between a slit electrode layer and a plate electrode layer, so as to enable all the liquid crystal molecules between the slit electrodes and right above the electrodes within a liquid crystal cell to rotate, thereby to improve the operational efficiency of the liquid crystal molecules and enhance the light transmission efficiency.
Optical efficiency is one of the principal factors that may affect a LCD display effect. Depending on a phase delay of a liquid crystal unit, its display effect may be determined by the optical efficiency, which is expressed as d×Δn, where d represents a thickness of a liquid crystal layer between an upper substrate and a lower substrate of a liquid crystal display panel, and Δn represents a birefringence difference of liquid crystals. At an initial white-light level, white light beams may be viewed by human eyes. When it is shifted gradually to a middle grayscale and the red-light transmittance increases, a color of the LCD viewed by the human eyes is not white any more, and instead, chromatic aberration slightly shifted toward yellow may occur. The so-called “yellowish” phenomenon is just one of the principal causes for the deterioration in the image quality of the display.
During the manufacture of the liquid crystal display panel, there is inevitably a certain pretilt angle of the liquid crystal layer relative to a surface of an alignment layer due to a rubbing alignment process (i.e., it is impossible for the pretilt angle of the liquid crystal layer to be 0°). At this time, when a left viewing angle is identical to a right viewing angle, liquid crystal axial directions viewed at the left viewing angle and the right viewing angle are different from each other, thereby Δn for the left viewing angle is different from that for the right viewing angle. Because d is of an identical value when the left viewing angle is identical to the right viewing angle, the phase delay Δn×d for the left viewing angle is different from that for the right viewing angle, and different optical path differences may occur. At this time, the light beams transmitted through liquid crystal display panel may be of different wavelengths, resulting in the chromatic aberration, which is more apparent in a dark state. As a result, the display effect of the liquid crystal display panel will be adversely affected.
SUMMARY

As a result, it is able to prevent the occurrence of the chromatic aberration for the liquid crystal display panel in a dark state or at a specific viewing angle, thereby to improve the display effect of liquid crystal display panel.
To be specific, one of the optical compensation films is arranged between the color filter substrate and the upper polarizer, and the other optical compensation film is arranged between the array substrate and the lower polarizer.
The display device in the embodiments of the present disclosure includes the above-mentioned liquid crystal display panel. The display device may be any product or member having a display function, such as a liquid crystal television, a liquid crystal display, a digital photo frame, a mobile phone, or a flat-panel computer.
The present disclosure will be described hereinafter in conjunction with the drawings by taking an ADS liquid crystal display panel as an example.
As shown in FIG. 1, which is a schematic view showing an existing ADS liquid crystal display panel, the ADS liquid crystal display panel includes a color filter substrate 2, an array substrate 4, and a liquid crystal layer 3 arranged between the color filter substrate 2 and the array substrate 4. An upper polarizer 1 is arranged at a side of the color filter substrate 2 away from the array substrate 4, and a lower polarizer 5 is arranged at a side of the array substrate 4 away from the color filter substrate 2.
During the manufacture of the liquid crystal display panel, there is inevitably a certain pretilt angle of the liquid crystal layer 3 relative to a surface of an alignment layer due to a rubbing alignment process (i.e., it is impossible for the pretilt angle of the liquid crystal layer 3 to be 0°). At this time, there is light leakage or a certain phase delay for the ADS product in the dark state. As a result, the chromatic aberration may easily occur, and the application of the ADS product will be adversely affected. For example, the chromaticity in the dark state is highly demanded in medical display, and when a scanned image of a patient is viewed, it is required to prevent the occurrence of chromatic aberration, so as to prevent the misjudgment. Hence, the application of the ADS liquid crystal display panel in the medical display will be adversely affected due to the chromatic aberration.
In order to improve the chromatic aberration of the ADS liquid crystal display panel, the present disclosure provides in one embodiment an optical compensation film which, as shown in FIG. 2, includes a first substrate a1, a second substrate a2 arranged opposite to the first substrate a1, a first alignment layer b1 arranged at a side of the first substrate a1 opposite to the second substrate a2, a second alignment layer b2 arranged at a side of the second substrate a2 opposite to the first substrate a1, and a first liquid crystal layer c arranged between the first alignment layer b1 and the second alignment layer b2 and provided with a predetermined pretilt angle α1.
Through the optical compensation film in the embodiments of the present disclosure, it is able to prevent the occurrence of the chromatic aberration for the existing ADS liquid crystal display panel in the dark state or at a specific viewing angle. The existing optical compensation film is mainly used to improve contrast as well as a viewing angle. For the ADS liquid crystal display panel, its viewing angle and contrast are well enough, and it is able to provide a full viewing angle even without any improvement. The optical compensation film in the embodiments of the present disclosure may be used to prevent the occurrence of the chromatic aberration for the existing ADS liquid crystal display panel in the dark state or at a specific viewing angle.
FIG. 3 shows an ADS liquid crystal display panel according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. As compared with the existing ADS liquid crystal display panel in FIG. 1, a second optical compensation film 6 b is arranged between the upper polarizer 1 and the color filter substrate 2, and a first optical compensation film 6 a is arranged between the lower polarizer 5 and the array substrate 4. The optical compensation film 6 a and 6 b each includes two substrates arranged opposite to each other, and a liquid crystal layer arranged between the two substrates, wherein the liquid crystal layer is provided with a predetermined pretilt angle α1. As shown in FIG. 3, the pretilt angle α1 of the liquid crystal layer of each of the optical compensation films 6 a and 6 b is complementary to the pretilt angle of the liquid crystal layer of the ADS liquid crystal display panel, so that the final pretilt angle of the liquid crystal layers of the entire ADS liquid crystal display panel is 0°.
The liquid crystal layer of each of the optical compensation films 6 a and 6 b includes positive uniaxial liquid crystals. Because the liquid crystal layer of the ADS liquid crystal display panel also includes the positive uniaxial liquid crystals, Δn for the liquid layer of each optical compensation film is identical to that for the liquid crystal layer of the ADS liquid crystal display panel, and a resultant phase delay is the same too in the case of an identical viewing angle. When the pretilt angle α1 of the liquid crystal layer of each optical compensation film is complementary to the pretilt angle α2 of the liquid crystal layer of the ADS liquid crystal display panel, the resultant phase delay may be used to cancel out the chromatic aberration generated due to the phase delay. When the other kinds of liquid crystals are used, it is impossible to compensate for the chromatic aberration due to the different Δn.
FIG. 4 shows the principle for the occurrence of the chromatic aberration for the existing ADS liquid crystal display panel. When a light beam is of a standard wavelength λ of 589 nm, Δn of the liquid crystal layer is ne-no, where ne represents a refractive index of the liquid crystal in a long-axis direction, and no represents a refractive index of the liquid crystal in a short-axis direction. Due to the pretilt angle of the liquid crystal layer, Δn changes along with the viewing angle. For the existing ADS liquid crystal display panel, when Δn×d=λ/2 (d represents a thickness of the liquid crystal layer), a normal white color is displayed (at a center viewing angle), when Δn×d<λ/2, the chromatic aberration shifted toward blue light occurs (Δn for the right viewing angle decreases), and when Δn×d>λ/2, the chromatic aberration shifted toward yellow light occurs (Δn for the left viewing angle increases).
As shown in FIG. 5, which is a schematic view showing the principle for the prevention of the chromatic aberration for the ADS liquid crystal display panel according to one embodiment of the present disclosure, after the ADS liquid crystal display panel is provided with optical compensation film, a sum of the pretilt angle of the liquid crystal layer of the optical compensation film and the pretilt angle of the liquid crystal layer of the ADS liquid crystal display panel is 180°. In other words, the pretilt angle of the liquid crystal layer of the optical compensation film is complementary to that of the liquid crystal layer of the liquid crystal display panel, so as to enable the final pretilt angle of the liquid crystal layers of the liquid crystal display panel to be 0°. At this time, Δn is of a constant value but does not change along with the viewing angle. As a result, it is able to prevent the occurrence of the chromatic aberration for the ADS Liquid crystal display panel in the dark state or at a specific viewing angle, thereby to improve the display effect of the ADS liquid crystal display panel.
In the actual process, the pretilt angle of the liquid crystal layer of the ADS liquid crystal display panel is usually 2°. Hence, for the optical compensation film in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the pretilt angle of its liquid crystal layer may also be set as 2°.
The existing polarizer may further be improved, e.g., the existing polarizer may also be provided with the optical compensation films 6 a and 6 b. In this way, when the novel polarizer is attached onto the color filter substrate and the array substrate of the ADS liquid crystal display panel, it is also able to prevent the occurrence of the chromatic aberration for the ADS liquid crystal display panel in the dark state or at a specific viewing angle.
The above are merely the preferred embodiments of the present disclosure. It should be appreciated that, a person skilled in the art may make further modifications and improvements without departing from the principle of the present disclosure, and these modifications and improvements shall also fall within the scope of the present disclosure.
